Since the skin is in layers and damage can exist in layers, it is important to use a good method of exfoliation along with copper peptides for improved results.

AM: After cleansing the skin, apply a light amount of your favorite copper-peptide product. The application should be so light that it just barely covers the area without leaving it excessively wet or damp.

PM: After cleansing the skin, follow up with a light application of Lactic Power 10 (a 10% hydroxy acid chemical exfoliant to encourage skin cell turnover).

What is Lactic Acid? Lactic acid is found in the skin. It is the most natural hydroxy acid. Lactic acid is generated in energy production within the body. These acids work to loosen the chemical links between older skin cells allowing for easier breakdown of damage.

The concept of using hydroxy acids or fruit acids is very old. Cleopatra wrote the book "Beautification" in which she described the use of fruit acids, sour wine or sour milk (all of which contain hydroxy acids) to renew and beautify the skin. Today, we use pure forms of such acids, AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) to speed skin turnover, remove skin lesions, restore skin firmness, even out skin tone, and improve skin elasticity.

Why Lactic Power 10? Lactic acid works well on the skin's surface. Since the skin is in layers, and damage can many times reside in layers, it is important to use an effective method of exfoliation to effectively break down blemishes and heighten your results copper peptide products.

The formula of Lactic Power 10 works as an effective but gentle exfoliation system with 10% pure lactic acid as its active ingredient. For the protection of the skin during exfoliation, it also contains natural skin lipids and anti-oxidants such as mixed tocopherols, tocotrienols, Coenzyme Q-10 (ubiquinone, CoQ10), leutin and lycopene.

This leave-on exfoliator is designed to encourage skin cell turnover but also add skin lipids and natural antioxidants to the exfoliated area - leaving your skin smooth, beautiful, and clear.

Testimonials:

"Basically I use a simple regimen of CP Serum in the morning with Emu Oil and sunscreen in the morning and [Dr. Pickart's Face and Body Cleanser] with Lactic Power and Emu Oil and Two Timing Tightener, both morning and night. I use the regimen on my face, neck and hands. I have been on it for 5.5 months... My face is definitely more even in tone and softer... I do find I need less foundation to even out my skin."
